The construction of the Castle of Holdfast was initiated by Hendac Tharesun, leader of the Aluvian resistance against Queen Alfrega. It lays in the Luparvium Mountains in the southeast of Aluvia on Ispar. It was not the mightiest of fortresses, nor by any means the most elegant, and it never held off any attackers - for Alfrega's loyalists never found it. Holdfast came to be a safe haven for the Orts and their sympathizers in the coming years. From the walls of the Holdfast, many a party rode down to the plains to waylay Alfrega's patrols, or to rescue her victims. [1]
